OK I have been trying to work this out for a while now I am very much learning vb.net and LINQ is part of what we are being told to use for our coursework and it makes sense to use it but its just not working for me. I have added my database.mdf to data sources and added linq to sql and added all the tables in the database as data source objects. Anyway I think I did something wrong but I can't see what it is all I want to do is retrieve the company names at this stage and I can build on that myself but I can't get it to work.

This is what my VS looks like hope someone can spot something I didn't.



P.S. I am very stupid yes...
